The New York Legislature has before it a
bill to encourage horse breeding, max
ing it legal to sell pools at races near New
York and Saratoga, on condition that five
per cent. of the gross receipts Of the gate
money shall be turned over to the State for
improving the breeds of horses. There is
much more gambling than horse breeding in
that measure

What good does the property qualification
for voters do in Rhode IslandP The Provi-
dence Journal says that on Wednesdays
election the Democratic strikers escorted
their men up to the boxes, and, waiting for
them to vote, dropped into their hands small
tickets which were good for drinks of poor
whiskey at neighboring saloons. 1t does not
require property to make an honest citizen.

SPEEDY INTERPRETATION DEMANDED.
Providence ,Iournal

Now that the interstate commerce commits
sion has been appointed. the business inter-
ests of this country demand that the commits
sion should announce at the earliest possible
date what construction is to be placed upon
several vital questions that have been raised
under the law. There il no doubt that the
enigmatical char acter of some portions of the
bill serve as an obstacle to the spring trade
The sooner definite construction is put upon
such portions, the better for all.

the voters of that city can defend themselves
with the ballot against Socialists who seek
to attack them with that weapon. The other
is that concentration of power in the execu-

In 1885 Rev. Leighton Parks of Emmanuel
Church, Boston, delivered very interesting
course of Lectures before the Lowell Insti-
tute on Christianity and the the Early AIRY
an Religions With careful revision and
valuable additions these lectures have been
recently issued in volume entitled His Star
In the East. Mr. Parks has not only given
profound study and thought to his subject,
but he has travelled in the East and had an
opportunity to see the outward life of the
people of JAPAN China and India, and to
talk with men who still held the faith of
their fathers. He says, 81 found too many
stories of the answering rectitude.of Chis
nese compradors, l found too many exam
pies of the profound and serious thought of
men in India, not to return impressed with
the great truth that lin every nation, he that
feareth God is accepted of Him. And the
rest Of this experience was that in reading
- yedas and Upanishad and the Sutras
and the Zend-Avesta, have never thought
of them as dead books, but as that which has
been the staff of life to breathing, thinking
men," Mr.. Parks believes that the true
way to make disciples Of all nations is by
declaring unto them Jesus as Agri, Brahma,
Buddha, or Sosias as He was first declared
to the Jew as the Christ In this way the re-
ligions of the world become the great Evil
dences of Christianity.
Mr.. Parks is fair, fresh and considerate in
his arguments. Looking for light himself
he accepts every CLEAN that comes to him,
believing that Faith is better than knowl-
edge. Not, however, the faith of blind igno-
rance, but the faith which teaches that the
pure in heart shall see God. Boston and

Poor Gov. Hill is to be pitied. He was a
little while ago the proprietor of a flourish

the terrible ruin wrought by rum.

1t seems to be conceded by its friends now
that the Prohibitory amendment has been
defeated in Michigan by small majority.
The vote in the cities, where of course most
of the rum shops are, was Overwhelmingly
against it. If the amendment had been
placed in the constitution clearly, therefore,
any attempt to enforce it in the places where
enforcement is most needed would have en-
eountered very violent opposition-so violent
indeed that it is doubtful if it could have
been overcome. Perhaps, therefore. the de-
feat of the amendment will do the cause of
prohibition less harm than would its sue
cess. followed asst would very likely have
been by non-enforcement or very lax en-
forcement.

The Interstate commerce law bids fair to
strike very serious blow to industries such
as the mills at Wateryille and Madison, which
are situated far from their market. Hereto
fore they have been able to get special rates
on the railroads, which have largely removed
that disadvantage. Under this law special
rates are forbidden. The mills at Water
vile, for instance, must henceforth pay the
same rate per mile as mills in Connecticut
situated close to their market. In some
cases this disadvantage will probably be so
great as to compel a cessation of business.

very likely necessitate a reduction of wages

past few years has ASSUMED the role of a
friend OF the family, has by her mesmeric

Mr.. Dorr is backed In his assertions by
his wife's mother, who claims that her

medium warmly maintain that she only

1t seems strange that as soon as the
President decides to 20 to Red Top for a
little rest it. should blow no cold again.
When the President and Mrs. Clevelsnd
were out there last, the March winds
made it SO uncomfortable that they were
Obliged to come to town again. To day
Mrs. Cleveland packed up her things to
move to Red Top for the week and Easter
Sunday. The President went out this
afternoon after Office hours, intending to
spen ! the night there. Yesterday was SO
war that Mrs. Cleveland thought it
would be charming to go to the country
for Easter. The President readily con.
sented to take the holiday granted by the
evenings at the country place, so every.
thing was arranged for the departure,
and Mrs Cleveland went out quite early.
But the wind came up again to-day, and
made 1t very cold aud disagreeable. The
President likes to go to Red Top because
he can walk about there secure from the
public gaze. Besides, Mrs. Cleveland
loves to go into the garden and look after
the spring flowers and vegetables.
